Rec me some good home studio recording software. It's for my band,
and the fact that I want to get used to recording programs in general. I
have GarageBand, but I think I can do one better. So yeah, anything
that will run on a Mac and that I can likely get a free trial of. Cheers. Dist is Ligs.

If you are familiar with working Garage Band and enjoy its features you should look into purchasing Logic Pro 9. Its made by Apple of course and if you are working with a Mac Book it's the easiest most effective software to use. Not only is it great for recording live instruments but it comes packed with loops, synths, and percussion that you can add to your tunes.

if your making electronic music i'd suggest Reason 5 but Abelton is great as well
